What do you need immediately after discharge?
In his book, The Child and His CareThe brilliant pediatrician Benjamin Spock said that a newborn baby can sleep in anything, including a regular box or a chest of drawers. But ideally . So, you and your baby will need:
- Cot or cradle: need a good mattress, sheet, soft bumpers made of cotton fabric. The blanket is necessary only if it is cold at home and the heating is not turned on, it is better to use a special envelope for sleeping on a padding polyester, if you do not plan to swaddle a child who will not allow the baby to open at night. Pillow baby up to a year is not needed.
- Packaging of diapers for newborns.
- First aid kit with the necessary means to care for the child.
- Children's clothes for home. Most likely, the child will spend the first month of his life at home, so there is no need for clothing for walking.
- A set of feeding bottles and soother.
- Breast pump for mom.
Newborn Clothing
A photo: archive press services Rashshanki, sliders, flannel diaper in our time are considered non-functional. In their place came body and overalls. It is convenient for both mother and baby. And due to the presence of disposable diapers, you can save on the amount of children's clothes. If we talk about the seasonality of children's clothes, then in the cold season, overalls on a synthetic winterizer or on natural fur and a fur envelope in a stroller come to the fore. Unfortunately, in our winter we cannot do without warm things. The list of everyday clothes for a baby looks like this:
- bodysuit with short / long sleeves (p. 56) - 3−5 pcs.
- overalls on buttons with closed legs (p. 56) - 3-5.
- cotton hat, knitwear - 1 pc.
- cotton socks, knitwear - 2−3 pairs
- Scratchy gloves - 1 pair
- warm blouse - 1 pc.
- warm socks - 1 pair
- warm hat - 1 pc.
Of course, no one forbids a mother to add to this average set some smart outfits for the first visit to the clinic and receiving the first guests.
Young mom's wardrobe
If you think that after the birth of the babyyou can forget about yourself, then you are absolutely wrong. There are things that you simply cannot do without, for example, new underwear. You will need more than one set of underwear made of natural fabric! Be sure to get a functional nursing bra, special nursing nightgowns, new T-shirts with pockets, also for nursing! For some time, you will have to forget about your old wardrobe in favor of a new lifestyle, so I advise you to take a closer look at slings, aprons, dresses that will match your new status as a mother and will not create obstacles when feeding. You will definitely need a postpartum bandage that supports your abdominal muscles. It will help you get back into shape faster - it will support and strengthen the muscles of the abdominal wall, restore muscle tone and fix the suture after a cesarean section. I advise you to pay special attention to clothes and shoes for walks, they should match the season, and they should not be cold to go on a long walk in the park or forest in winter.
